We’ve just had some great feedback from another one of our BornFree Celebrity Baby Shower guests, rugby WAG Ella Kohn, wife of Harlequins player Ollie Kohn. The gorgeous mum to be sent us this lovely testimonial:
Choosing BornFree bottles and products is a weight off my mind when waiting for the baby to arrive as every new mum wants everything to be perfect
Our thanks and best wishes go to Ella and Ollie.
You may remember that we ran a competition last month to find a deserving mum to send on a day’s Time Out. We wanted one of you to join our guests at the BornFree Celebrity Baby Shower and lovely mum of three, Susie Brown, was our winner.
Susie has very kindly taken the time to answer a few questions and share her experience with you:
What made you become a fan of BornFree in the first place?
Since having my 3rd child there’s a lot of new things about for babies and I came across BabyBornFree on Facebook who I’d never heard of before. I was interested in all the products that you sell to see if there’s anything I’d like for Libby. Also so I could tell my family and mum and dad and friends all over the world about yourselves so they knew about you.
What was the first thing you did when you heard that you had won the competition?
I was really happy to be picked, it was a day out for just Libby and myself to enjoy, and we did.
Can you tell us a bit about what you did at the Celebrity Baby Shower?
When I arrived I was greeted by everyone there and then was taken around the different companies to view their products and they told me about the different things they do for mums to be and babies. I had not heard of many of them so it was great to find new shops or websites to share with others as well which I will be doing in the very near future on my parent group. I was given some gifts from the different stalls and of course BornFree which i was so happy to receive so thank you to all for them and Libby loves her beautiful pillow from BabyFace and also the BornFree TwistN’Pop straw cup which I’d recommend for anyone to buy as Libby finds it so easy to use and it doesn’t leak.
Were you able to enjoy any of the SoSPA treatments?
I did get offered to but I didn’t do the SoSPA treatment as I had Libby with me and was unsure if she play up if I left her, also as I was late I didn’t feel I’d have time to enjoy a treatment as it might have been a bit of a rush.
I heard your daughter behaved beautifully during the event, did she enjoy her day?
Libby loved it and was really good and loved seeing the babies there, she went to see them
Will you be entering more of our competitions in future?
After winning such a great prize I haven’t entered anymore yet as I didn’t want to look greedy to others and to give others the opportunity to sample your products. I will definitely be entering more but also now I know where to buy Libby’s drink bottles and BornFree products for my family’s babies I will be buying them in the future and recommending yourselves to others like I have been doing.
Brilliant answers, thanks Susie. I think we can all agree that you have been an awesome prize winner, we’re so glad you enjoyed your day!
Last year handsome TV presenter Giles Vickers Jones and his gorgeous pregnant wife Anna were guests at the very first BornFree Celebrity Baby Shower. We were delighted to catch up with them again last week when they attended our second Baby Shower event and this time they brought along their beautiful baby girl for everyone to meet.
Giles and Anna are big fans of BornFree and they have just sent us this wonderful testimonial for us to share with you:
When Ava was born she struggled with Colic. Since switching to BornFree bottles she has had no colic symptoms at all. We now use the full BornFree range. Ava won’t use any other dummy! I really can’t stress enough how fantastic the whole range is – I highly recommend it to every parent – Amazing!
We’re very proud to share more amazing testimonials from some of the guests who attended our Celebrity Baby Shower.
Gorgeous model Portia Freeman has sent us this message:
Due to work commitments I am in the early stages of weaning my four month old son Dylan from breast feeding to formula. I have started using the Born Free wide range of bottles of which I highly recommend as Dylan has taken to them so well. Happy baby= Happy mummy.
And Lisa Scott Lee, who joined fellow Steps sensations Claire Richards and Faye Tozer at the Shower, has sent us these lovely words:
I love being a Mummy and like every new Mum, I want the best for my babies. That’s why I love BornFree’s products, as they are chemical free I can be confident that I’m giving the best start in life
Following the second BornFree Celebrity Baby Shower on Tuesday we have received some exceptional feedback from those who attended! Faye Tozer of former super group Steps who dropped by the event with her super cute son Benjamin, proved she’s a true BornFree fan by providing us with this lovely testimonial.
Since discovering the BornFree range we haven’t looked back! The products are safe, sturdy and easy for me and my growing little boy to use.
In addition, we also had some lovely feedback from Katy Hymas who works on the fabulous Mums Rock blog along with TheBabyWebsite.
I had a fabulous afternoon…thank you so much. I don’t underestimate how much effort it took to make the event seem so effortless. You and the team should feel very proud!
Looks like a great day was had by all!
